Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 29, 2015

That was worth a nickel.

I hear you, CB. When I express my lonliness to people around me they either tell me to “embrace it” (what does that even mean?) or talk about their own lives. Better alone than in bad company.

It’s kinda like that “Rabbit and the Frogs” story…appreciating that other people might be living a more terrible life than you are sometimes helps us forgetting our own troubles..

It’s the old “Can You Top This” in action. People are so self absorbed, you’re better served taking a walk in nature.

Well, I thought that with the 1968 Peanuts election year arc not to run this year since next year in 2016 it will be an election year that Peanuts reruns would substitute the arc for 1959 strips, but this time we see a 1969 strip previously rerun in 2005.Does this mean Peanuts rerun strips won’t go to 1969 next year and go to a later period? too soon to tell…

I once went to see a Psychiatrist who was wearing a neck brace. I felt better right away.

The doctor is injured.

“I’m sick and tired of listening to people whine about their problems, so don’t YOU start!”“But…….but…….but……..Doctor, this is my therapy session!”

Physician heal thyself…

Me and Lucy have something in common. We’ve both had a fall. I had a fall on Friday. My wrist still twinges now and again but my knees are OK.

Today’s “Soup To Nutz” comic strip:

You know you can skip reading the comic… right?

She must be feeling bad. She failed to charge 5c for that information.

Some people feel lonely. Other people wish they did.

In a couple of days, Schroeder is going to show surprising sympathy for Lucy’s misery.

Misery loves company, I guess.

Lucy’s being about as helpful as most doctors of any stripe are, unfortunately. Most are just in it for the money and prestige. The recent lawsuit involving the anesthesiologist who bad-mouthed and intentionally falsified records on a colonoscopy patient shows some of what they are capable of.
